About the Book

This book showcases Ricardo Vela's most recent artistic explorations that are expressed in acrylic on canvas. He works in an emotional expressionistic style, with rich colors, broad, gestural brushstrokes, and vigorous applications of paint that combine into powerful and evocative images that absolutely captivate the viewer's eye.
